    A twin size batting is 72 X 90. That may influence your decision.

    Either way it's beautiful! My personal opinion though would be to just bind it as is in black so the striped squares will pop. Can't wait to see it finished!!!

    I'm going to be different, IMHO, if it was mine. I probably would border with a 1 inch black, then add a 2nd border with a bright color. My binding would probably be black or one of the other bright colors in the quilt.
